Okay so this is completely off subject but too cool to share. Especially for my engineer friends in the group. As some may know I work in a large Walmart international distribution center. It is huge with 2.6 million square feet and 300,000 pallets slots of storage. We use hydrogen powered fork lifts and pallet movers to handle freight. My latest job assignment is a fork lift driver. I moved up from hand unloading containers all day. Recently they announced we will be a test center for AMRs or autonomous mobile robots. They will be used as pallet haulers for long distance moves. We are getting 8 of them and they need people to program their work load each morning and watch over them and intervene if they have issues during the shift. I interviewed last week and today was told I was one of 2 picked for my shift and one of 6 for the whole building of over 600 employees. I'm very lucky to be selected and this could help my quest to get into a salaried management position if things go well. I'm excited and nervous to start training in about 2 weeks.
